Amazon Product Description
Make your living room or office the center of your universe with Philips' 42-inch, perfectly flat 42PF9936 plasma television. The set's widescreen (16:9 aspect ratio) dimension closely matches those of your favorite movies. Hook the 42PF9936 up to a progressive-scan DVD player and you'll enjoy vivid, detailed images on the set's native 852 x 480-pixel screen. You can connect it with your PC, too, using the set's RGB input and supplied connection cable. An integrated TV tuner offers cable or broadcast reception of all your favorite programs.

Philips' Dynamic Contrast technology optimizes the contrast of the picture by stretching the white, gray, and black levels.

With a plasma screen you get vivid colors like you've never seen before, extremely wide viewing angles (wider, even, than those of most LCD screens), and easy placement due to a plasma monitor's slim profile, which also makes it perfect for desk or wall mounting. Brightness tends to be extremely uniform across plasma screens, which are also impervious to the picture distortion and negative color balances that afflict CRT monitors when placed near lighting or sound systems.

The 42PF9936 includes Digital Crystal Clear technology, a suite of picture innovations including Dynamic Contrast, a comb filter, and advanced, 10-bit processing. A feature called Active Control Plus continually adjusts picture settings at over 60 times per second for all inputs, correcting both sharpness and noise reduction, even adjusting for changes in ambient viewing light.

Audio/video inputs include a direct-digital DVI input and a VGA computer input. Onboard Dolby Virtual Surround simulates enveloping surround sound from any 2 speakers.

What's in the Box
TV, stand, wall mount, remote control, remote batteries, and a user's manual.

Auto Color, one of the features of Active Control, measures the color content of the incoming signal and adjusts it to predefined ideal values.

Fell apart in my hands after week 3 of ownership.......2007-05-19

Kept it on my keychain, don't do much in the way of abusing it--it stays in my front pocket or hanging from my bulletin board. I plug it in about once a day on average. I noticed as soon as I took it out of the package that the case was a bit-- well, you could sort of *move* it under your fingers. Tonight I pulled it out of my computer tower and both halves fell apart in my hand, leaving the guts exposed. It was fun to look at but I expected better build quality.

Slow as molasses, falls apart in less than a month--experiencing some real buyer's regret right now.

I may not be Jack Bauer, but I am a software developer, and I prefer to save my files on a removable drive. While the other reviewer's work might not require high speed, my work does. When running the compilers and debuggers, this thing just can't keep up and the IDEs choke. It's unacceptable, as it grossly impacts the time it takes me to do my work. I bought it because it was small and a good price... but, as they say, you get what you pay for.

My previous drive was a 256 Meg Sandisk Cruzer. Looks like I'll shell out some money and get another Sandisk. Much better. (But I recommend dumping the installed U3 software that comes on it.)

However, that said, the reason I'm giving it two stars rather than one is if you don't need speed and are looking for a good price, this seems to be just fine.

I love this because it is SMALL. I use an Apple at work and having 2 gigs to hold my files in is awesome. The speed is fine for me, I'm not Jack Bauer trying to avert a nuclear meltdown where nanoseconds count, and neither are you. This is a good price on Amazon, I bought mine at an office supply store on sale for $39.99.

I'm not quite sure what everyone's problem is with this drive. It works perfectly for me. I'm very happy with my purchase on the amazon marketplace. I just did a test and I copied a 62mb file to this flash drive in about 14-15 seconds. I don't know what the standard is .. but it seems pretty fast for me.

Drive works well with Windows XP Professional. It is noticably slow in updating larger files (i.e. 2MB spreadsheets).
